Just put a rust treatment over the lot and have begun cutting the metal plates for the holes. Picked up some etch primer for the bay and will use alittle filler to smooth out the welds for a better finish.

Collected this tonight. Looks good and straight. Covered in bumper gel but colour matches the front one. Had to leave it outside to remove the travelling wildlife on the rear.

Looks a decent one.
Nice job pal looking good .
So finally put down my first welds! Not quiet what it looked like in the video but need to get used too the different power and wire speeds. Don't think there was great penetration but they ain't budging.
Also done the first skim of filler and blow over of etch in the engine bay to try and tidy up the mess. Probably requires one more skim to fill the small holes then hopefully ready to paint in the new year.

Might be a bit untidy, but looks like its sticking ok. Playing around with the settings on the welder takes time but does help.
You'll see the heat come thru the other side if its really got in deep. Have a look under the dash and see...

Did see it come through slightly on the splash panel but not so much on the battery tray. Once I've flapped it back and seamed/painted you won't see most of it
No true, but you want the welding on the leg/turret to be strong.

The welds look quite proud of the surface try more power
The material must be alot cleaner to achive a good weld mate not only does the paint ect get into the weld pool but the gasses that come off it repel the intert gas that you are trying to shield the weld with hence the pourosity .
Also get the juice up another click and the wire speed down .
You want to be looking for a hissing sound rather than snap crackle n pop . Hope this helps mate
